The target audience for the Nitto NT555 summer tire with a factory index is sports cars. The model is characterized by uncompromising handling and traction at high speeds. At the same time, it is designed for use on ordinary roads, where it demonstrates long service life in addition to the above-mentioned properties.
The ideal "pair"
This model is offered in two versions. In addition to the "basic" version, there is a special R version for rear wheels. The development of both versions was carried out jointly, resulting in the creation of tires that complement and enhance each other's operational properties.
Compound
When developing the tire, the manufacturer actively used the experience gained in circuit racing. One of the areas of application was the compound. Its physicochemical properties ensure that the tread has high traction properties on dry pavement and resistance to tearing and stretching.
Cornering stability
The shoulder zones of the tread contain very massive blocks that have a trapezoidal shape in lateral projection. This gives them high stability against lateral acceleration forces. As a result, they are quickly transmitted to the steering column, providing the driver with clear feedback. Additionally, the significant area of the shoulder blocks improves traction properties when maneuvering and cornering.
